Thinksharp Foundation is growing and reaching more and more villages to help rural children by providing them better educational infrastructure. On 23 Dec 2017 we met another milestone, we launched 12th StudyMall at Z.P.School Aswalamba, Tq-Parali Vaijnath, Dist Beed.

This project was mainly possible due to support from all our donors, funders, supporters, local teachers, parents villagers and specially because of our team member Mr.Nitin Dhakne.

This will help primary students from 1st to 7th std of marathi medium i.e total 175+ village children 8+ teachers in learning and teaching in better way as StudyMall will be providing them digital learning and library plus arts,crafts and other educational infrastructure.

Aswalamba is a small villages located in Taluqa Parali Vaijnath, with approximate population of 1850 and no other school or NGO in nearby vicinity.

We have set up Library and digital class for betterment of these 175+ students. 1 classroom is converted as advanced hub of learning with lots of books in drawing, stories, DIY hobbies, and digital/e-learning in motivational classroom painted in animated child feeling way.

We wait for more feedback from students and teachers on usage of StudyMall and its impact onthere learning. We will update you on same on periodic basis. Connect to our social media pages to get live updates.

We are very happy to share that our 7th StudyMall Project was launched on 02 Dec 2017 at Balpan English School. On occasion of the opening ceremony a science exhibition was also presented by 150+ school’s talented little scientists . Children made windmill, sound and air properties, volcano eruption, rainbow formation, motor driven boat, sprinkler irrigation, ATM machine, Hydraulic lift etc as part of science exhibition.

This School is started by a very dynamic couple and social entrepreneurs themselves Mr and Mrs Munde. They both have two talented children Pratik and Varad, and they realized they had to send there eldest Son Pratik to a town place to study in English medium. This created an impact on both of them and it put them in direct contact with the problems faced by parents who are forced to send children to towns and cities for better educational facilities. To overcome this , they are running a State approved English School in a small village Panodi, which is in Tq-Sangamner, Dist Ahmednagar (40 km from Shirdi ) Maharashtra, India. There youngest son Varad is studying in same school in 4th std.

The school is a 2 storey building with lights tubes fans and ample ground with playground. They are trying best to upgrade school infrastructure everyday. School has total 167 students from 1st to 5 th std. The staff (approx 8 teachers in total) is highly qualified and motivated to educate and teach this talented set of children.

On 15 Aug 2017, Team Thinksharp Foundation attended Independence day event Balpan English school. We were highly convinced by there dedication and commitment for betterment of educational infrastructure and hence decided to help them more from our side.

On 02 Dec 2017, we formally launched StudyMall in this school. This StudyMall project provides them with Digital projector which is solar based and has all the needed academic contents plus non academic extracurricular contents for interactive learning. We aim to help them more in long term by providing them more learning tools as they need.

ThinkSharp Foundation team is aiming to help 11 villages in upcoming three months i.e. by Oct 2017. We have finalized 11 villages out of which one is Village Bramhanwade, Dist Nasik to have Digital class project under StudyMall.

Our Founder and myself visited this village on 15 Aug 2017 to carry out our initial analysis on the current situation of the educational infrastructure available in village and the need of StudyMall.

Bramhanwade is a small village in Tq Sinnar Dist Nasik. It has total population of only 3000, total college/school going children are 500, two schools in village one is Z.P.School Bramhanwade and one more school named Madhymik vidyamandir bramhanwade. The nearest station to village is Nasik road.

Z.P.School Bramhanwade teachers approached us to set up Digital class- StudyMall project in the school. The school is enrolling children from 1st to 4th std. Total 99 students currently study here, 58 boys and 41 girls . There are total 4 teachers and 8 classrooms. None of classrooms are RCC, there is no library, there is only 1 tv and 1 computer , no digital projector.

We have decided to provide better educational infrastructure here.

You too can donate and support for 99 students of Bramhanwade village to read, learn and be better by providing them right educational infrastructure in there villages. Also your donations will help you as all our donations have tax benefit.

On 15 Aug 2017 we celebrated our 70th Independence Day in India. We were also part of the celebrations at Balpan School, Village Panodi, Dist Ahmednagar.

We are very humbled and honored to had chance to celebrate this important day where our Founder Mr.Santosh Phad was invited to be chief Guest of Honor. I was very fortunate to join him too.

Balpan english school in Panodi Village is set up Mr and Mrs Munde with a sole aim of providing quality education and English language syllabus for the village students. In villages it is really a daunting task for parent to send them children to schools located at Taluqa or District place for better and English medium education. This leads to financial implications for family, health implications for children due to travelling and decreased motivation to continue education.

Balpan English school in Panodi village has 165 students currently attending from all nearby villages. It has 8 classrooms and 8 teachers. The School runs for 1st to 5th std students. It still lacks library, digital projector and other such better educational infrastructure. Thinksharp Foundation is going to set up a Digital class under project StudyMall for this school which will provide them digital projector in the initial phase and will add more educational infrastructure over period of time as per need.

On the occasion of the day various activities were performed by the talented students such as Parade walk, Lazhim, Speeches, Fancy dress as our respected Leaders and freedom fighters.

Thinksharp Foundation team also distributed prizes to the best dressed and best speaker students. Our Founder Mr.Santosh was also the chief guest to honor the family members of Indian soldiers serving the country from the village.

We thank you Balpan English School students, teachers for this honor and a memorable day.

You too can donate and support for students of Balpan English school to read, learn and be better by providing them right educational infrastructure in there villages. Also your donations will help you as all our donations have tax benefit.

You are responsible for providing books to read , colors to paint, pencils to draw, space to play a educational game, learn computer and enjoy learning even complex topics with the help of digital projector and many more such educational infrastructure.

There are many success stories we would like to share but we would like to mention about our first StudyMall project Surungali village story.

This is story of brilliant student Avinash Dandge. He is a resident of Surungali village and he has been frequently coming to StudyMall since its inception in Sep 2013. He says that StudyMall provided him a quite environment to sit and study after school and also non academic, grammar, essay writing and language books that helped him prepare for his written and communicative skills. StudyMall has also provided him access to computer which he used to prepare for his exams. During power cut in village, it was StudyMall where he could study with the help of Solar lamps. StudyMall also gave him a friend and mentor Arun, our project volunteer. Arun helped him in discussions about complex topics during his exam time.

Although he gives a major credit to StudyMall for his success of scoring 91% in SSC (10th std) exam, we know it’s his hard work and intelligence. Avinash hopes to be doctor some day, we wish him best luck and we promise to help him further if needed.

There are many students who scored very well with the help of StudyMall in surungali village in not just SSC but also in various other grades.

Since its inception till 4 years til now StudyMall is acting as a catalyst in success of Surungali village children.

We congratulate Avinash and students like him for there achievements.
